Game Day Round 8 Vs Geelong - Monday Night Footy

[MadMundy]

Banfield today solidified that he's not going to be a viable player for us in the future. It's a shame because in 2018 he was quite handy. I'd love to see McCarthy get a run of it as the third tall if he's fit, he deserves a run. Blakely doesn't get in because he ain't gonna get in. Colyer was fine today so I'm not gonna call for him to be dropped. Just the one change this week.

IN: McCarthy
OUT: Banfield

sturt and conca will be close for next week apparently

 

[Megalon]

Out: Banfield

In: Pina or Watson

Bring in Watson or Pina to play the role Aish did today (I think either can make an immediate impact), and move Aish back to the wing to play to his strengths.

Play Acres more in the middle and less wing, to make use of his big body around stoppages and move Serong up to play mostly as a small forward, until we can get Sturt back into the team. I'd also like to see Frederick retain his spot and played more around goal, I can see him crumbing off Tabs and Lobb.

Our small forwards looked flat footed and predictable today, having Serong and Frederick up there more should provide a bit of xfactor but also defensive pressure because of their pace.

Schultz very luck to keep his spot. Backing Tucker to bounce back next week, possibly played sore after last week? Out of character for him.

 

[wild side]

potential ins:
Sturt, Conca

how depressing

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Am I reading the stats correctly? Schultz - 7 disposals at 0% disposal eff?

He gets a pass because of last week and we can't/won't drop 3-4 players at once.

Banfield has to be the first to go, Coyler aswell.

Don't worry though, Conca should be good to go. Wonder if Sturt will be good to go being we don't play for 8 more days?

That doesn’t surprise me, his disposal was horrendous tonight. This is not a new thing. Last week I gave him kudos, it was the first time he could be as handy as Switta but his poor disposal may be too big a hurdle to overcome. Likely stays in though because our first two choices, Henry and Switta are underdone/inju

Out: Banfield, Schultz, Colyer
In: McCarthy, Thomas, Crowden

Bit different but they’ve given Thomas some good wraps and I don’t think he could be worse than Schultz. Colyer should not be in the team and I would love to understand why they think he should be

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Just heard the JL presser, if Sturt gets up you couldn’t swap his and Banfield name quick enough

Sorry, who's Thomas?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Sorry, who's Thomas?

Leno Thomas. NGA pick up from last year

Been getting some praise in the scratchies, playing as a small defensive forward with decent skills who is very hard at it.Like I said, going a bit different

Hardly refer to Sturt as depressing...

I haven't heard his name since the indiscretion in February, to be honest I thought he hadn't gone to the gold coast hub. Good to hear he's been playing in scratchies and getting some praise, I thought he might be a long way off.

s**t, completely forgot Leno. Good call, would love to see him or Jarvis Pina get a run soon.

Carter’s the one to me that is basically a ghost, but Thomas was definitely singled out last game and I think the one before

Not useful nor useless selections. Meh.
Sturt for Banfield.
Conca for?

much rather
Hogan and Logue. But Weber is too busy writing TBA every bloody week .

 

[samFFC]

Darcy really struggled

Banfield and Colyer out.

 

[Megalon]

Hogan and Logue. But Weber is too busy writing TBA every bloody week .

TBA is like the kiss of death, I hate it so much. Geez Logue would have made a difference today, of course either or Pearce or Hamling would have too.

 

[Mogumber]

Meek has got to be better than Darcy imo

Would rather Pearce and Fyfe too, but let’s take what we can get - Sturt and Conca would be good ins

 

[Square Peg]

Hawkins might kick 10 if it's a clear night. We are in deep s**t.
Out Banfield, In Sturt. That will hardly solve our problems, but the cupboard is as bare as Weber's fat ugly head.

Agree. Was praying and hoping for rain today. But was as clear and cool can be.
Ablett and Selwood out is huge, however.
But Geelong are such a defensive unit they’ll just go all out squeeze the life out of us mode.

 

[Wilksyy]

Mundy plays one bad game - Mundy out. You guys are animals.

 

[Unique Name]

McCarthy, Sturt and give Crowden another crack maybe.
Out: Banfield, Coyler, Schultz

Hughes - Ryan - Duman
Wilson - Cox - Hill
Aish - Tucker - Acres
Walters - Lobb - McCarthy
Sturt - Tabs - Frederick

Darcy - Brayshaw - Cerra

Mundy - Bewley - Serong - Crowden


I imagine Conca comes in but he's not exactly the solution to any of our problems.

We need to get a look at Meek and Valente this year. Ideally 4-5 games each so we know what to do with them at the end of the year.

 

[Unique Name]

Potentially Mundy could be in trouble for his high bump when he went past the ball on the boundary line and collected the Eagles player.

 

[dont bowl there]

Meek has got to be better than Darcy imo

Darcy was BOG before he went off last week, it's no surprise he was a little shaky yesterday as players often take a week or two to get back after concussion/head knocks.

 

[Lach72]

At the stage now where this year is a write off completely with injuries.
It’s all about development.
I can’t work out what Crowden did that was bad enough on his first game to get dropped and never come back.
id give him Schultz or Banfield’s spot.
Tobe Watson needs to play. Duman can have a rest
Blakely and North need to play. Mundy gets a week’s rest to freshen up. Keep playing Frederick, get Henry in as soon as he’s ready.

 

[Scham]

Darcy was beaten by a better player. No excuses.
